I have a great group! Congrats y'all!

The review manuscript's uncorrected proofs are available online here already: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jare.2019.03.003Our review investigates factors that impact bacterial colonisation on leaves and highlights the potential role of plant immunity in leaf colonisation.

So first let me say - all my students are great (micro)biologists! But there is this one guy that doesn't seem to be satisfied with being a good biologist. Rudolf apparently has some time to spare to also aspire to become the World's best baker (as you can see he also has two price certificates as proof now). Not only did his cake look gorgeous, it also tasted amazing.

Congratulations to winning two prices here Ru!

​Thanks to everyone that helped me on that way. ]]>Fri, 30 Nov 2018 05:09:11 GMThttp://www.remus-emsermann-lab.org/news/remus-emsermann-lab-is-on-a-rollFirst off all, the Chromatic bacteria are now accepted with Frontiers (time to pay the open access bill :P ). Secondly, this happened:

Rudolf has won a poster award at the NZMS / NZSBMB annual meeting in Dunedin!

Way to go Rudolf!!!

Congratulations again - well deserved!

We'll investigate evil Pseudomonads :-) my job is to make them glow and track them on their host.]]>Wed, 07 Nov 2018 06:48:40 GMThttp://www.remus-emsermann-lab.org/news/november-07th-2018So that just happened - It was just announced that I am the winner of this years University of Canterbury Early and Emerging Researcher Career Researcher Award. I am pretty chuffed/ exited/ honoured/ surprised/ proud

So, Mo just bought a bag of cat litter - Purrfit - my favourite (no commercial interest). This is a truly fast adjustment to the NZ number 8 wire mentality. If life doesn't give you calcined clay from the US - buy something your cat usually does its business in. #growingArabidopsis
